Re: Debian not starting with systemd; starts fine with sysVi
A last update, if anyone still reads along. Goodbye Jessie... and OpenSUSE. Hello Stretch! Today I had installed OpenSUSE "Leap 15" (with Gnome) over Debian 8.11. OpenSUSE worked...but it was as slow as a turtle (both CPU cores were at 100% continuously, and the 2 GB RAM were always aroun...

Re: Your most relevant linux/Debian memories
Not Debian, here. I remember Mandrakelinux being my first Linux distro that worked well (alongside Windows Millennium). I found it awesome that there was an OS world outside Microsoft Windows. I bought Mandrakelinix as "boxed" software with CD-roms and a manual. In fact, my first tries in ...

Re: Meanwhile in the Windoze 10 world ...
If you have to use Win10 for some reason (I do for one pro audio interface that only has Win/Mac drivers - Digico UB MADI. And some games.), it's possible to make it behave much more civilly using a program like Win10Privacy - https://www.winprivacy.de/english-home/ Very interesting! I will try it ...

When it comes to the "Redmond Posse", I always wonder if (and hope that) the GPL's are strong enough.

Re: Why does Google not show the Debians forums?
You misunderstand me: startpage.com forwards anonymous search queries to Google on the user's behalf in order to avoid the filter bubble that distorts results depending on previous search history. You are very right. That is indeed how Starpage works (so I read). I will try Startpage instead of Goo...

Re: reduce steps in debian install
This is probably "obsolete" by now, but I would like to say this anyway. As someone who has installed different Linux distros on several computers for several times, I found the Debian 7 installer (which I installed back end of 2015) the most, well, "complicated". Particularly th...

Re: Debian not starting with systemd; starts fine with sysVi
How did you configure your system to boot with sysvinit? I did not configure anything (even after 11 years in Linux, I am not a Linux expert). :) In the GRUB menu, I "just" chose/choose "Advanced options", where it shows the options " Debian GNU/Linux " (with systemd, ...

Why does Google not show the Debians forums?
A curious observation I often make. When searching for information about Debian, Google (what else?) rarely gives links to postings on the Debian forums. It gives tons of hits to the Ubuntuforum and to other forums and to blogs - and those are helpful too - but never/rarely the Debian forums. Why is...
